| National Alliance on Mental Illness Collier County is moving administrative offices and all services into the former Naples Senior Center building, 5025 Castello Drive, in Naples. The move will take place this month, and the building will be open April 3. Previously, NAMI Collier’s programs were held in several rented spaces, with the administration offices in a building on the other side of town. The move brings all programs under one roof, providing the ability to expand programs and seamlessly expose members to the services and programs available. The two-story space has a kitchen, pantry, offices, board room and training room. The building also has four offices and a reception area that NAMI Collier, a nonprofit, can sublease to generate additional revenue. The Sarah Ann Center, a drop-in center for anyone over the age of 18 with a mental health diagnosis, will also be relocated into the new building. |
